Chapter 312 Prime Minister Leads the Troops

"I'm going to fight them. In war, civilians should not be killed. This is an unspoken treaty since ancient times. Don't they want to be human beings anymore?" General Xiao slapped the coffee table, and the surface of the coffee table immediately cracked.

"These beasts."

In the meeting room, no one could calm down.

"If they keep taking civilians hostage like this, won't we always be constrained?" Guan Miao frowned.

Within two days, the news of Prince Jin's arrest had already reached the imperial palace.

"This is too much, you little thief." After reading the 800-mile express, the emperor had already smashed three sets of tea sets.

The old eunuch beside him lowered his head and dared not move. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.

"Tell the cabinet, five ministries and six departments to come to the palace." After the emperor said this, he swept all the things on the table that the eunuch had just tidied up to the ground.

"Yes." The old eunuch lowered his head and quickly retreated.

When he went out, he did not forget to call two eunuchs to clean the floor again.

The ministers who had just left the government office were urgently summoned back by the emperor.

Everyone heard that it was a battle in Shou County.

The official hat and shoes were almost lost.

"Lord Murong." Minister Li jogged while holding his official hat, and did not forget to greet Murong Bai in front of him.

As the prime minister of Dameng, Murong Bai held the highest official rank.

He holds the highest official position besides the emperor.

It can be said that he is above one person and below ten thousand people.

Murong Bai at this moment did not look the same as he did in Jicheng.

Murong Bai from Jicheng is just an old naughty boy.

Murong Bai in the court had cold eyes, like an eagle in the night, cold, arrogant, lonely, yet domineering.

Having been immersed in officialdom for many years, even if he didn't say anything when he stood there, just a glance from him would make the ministers in the court tremble all over.

Murong Bai didn't look at Minister Li but just nodded.

"Teacher." Song Yan followed closely behind with a serious expression.

After hearing about the war in Shou County, Song Yan approached Murong Bai and whispered, "It might not be a good idea to summon him to the palace at this time."

Everyone entered the Mingde Hall with heavy faces, and saw the emperor with a gloomy face, as if a storm was about to come.

"Your Highness." Everyone saluted.

The emperor had a gloomy face and waved his hand: "Get up and take a look."

As the emperor spoke, he threw the memorial onto the table. The old eunuch stepped forward and handed it to Murong Bai, and everyone gathered around.

After watching it, everyone's faces turned pale and so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

"What a bunch of barbarians! Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors stipulated that when two countries go to war, they should not kill civilians indiscriminately. This rule has been followed for hundreds of years. Does this group of barbarians want to break the balance?" Minister Li was so angry that his eyebrows stood up and his tone was cold.

"Not really. In the battle against Yan State, civilians were massacred." Song Yan said with a bow.

Yes, in that battle, the officers and soldiers had not even taken action before they had already pushed back the 100,000-strong army of the Yan Kingdom. One can imagine how tragic it was.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, thinking about the two wars in their hearts.

Whenever the emperor thought of Shen Yi being captured and the civilians killed in the massacre, he wished he could lead the army himself and kill Wuhetu.

"Tell me about it." The emperor's face turned dark and his voice was low.

"Your Majesty, what they are doing is nothing more than wanting us to surrender. We absolutely cannot do that."

"So you mean to ignore King Jin?"

"You old bastard, is that what I mean?"

"Your Majesty, their purpose is very clear. They will not kill Prince Jin. Prince Jin will have to suffer. If we rashly send troops, we cannot ignore the safety of the prince. Now the prince is their shield."

"Bang..." The fourth teacup fell to the ground today.

"What's the use of you? Can't you say something useful? Don't I know what you said? What's the point of keeping you?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Everyone knelt down.

"Calm down, calm down, how can I calm down? They are trampling on the face of our Dameng, and Prince Jin will not go with him if he has any way. What does this mean? What does this mean?" As he spoke, he began to look for something on the table. Remembering that the cup had been smashed just now, he picked up a few memorials piled high on the table and threw them to the ground.

All the ministers lowered their heads.

"Tell me, aren't you always noisy? You were silent at the critical moment."

"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to rescue Prince Jin. Now there is no main general in Shou County, and I am afraid that the morale of the army will be dispersed." Song Yan said.

"Then send a commander to stabilize the situation. Who do you think is suitable?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." Murong Bai, who had been silent all this time, bowed.

"My dear..." The emperor didn't react.

"The Prime Minister is a civil servant. It would be inappropriate for you to go, right?" The Minister of War frowned.

"Yes, Prime Minister, you are already old, and the journey to Shou County is long, I am afraid you are not comfortable with it."

"My dream is to get a talented general, so there is no need for the Prime Minister to go."

Usually, civil and military officials quarreled fiercely in the court.

Today is a rare moment of unanimity.

Civil servant: Mr. Prime Minister, please don’t bring this up. Why would a civil servant go to a battlefield?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go as well." Song Yan knelt on the ground.

I wonder if these master and disciple are suffering from some serious illness?

"Minister Song, why are you causing trouble?" The Minister of War had been unhappy with Song Yan for a long time.

"Bang..." The emperor knocked on the table a few times with the memorial.

Is the emperor today too irritable?

Everyone lay on the ground.

"Prime Minister Murong Bai, Minister of Personnel Song Yan, listen to my order. Tomorrow you two will rush to Shou County. The Prime Minister will be the commander-in-chief and Song Yan will be the deputy commander-in-chief. You must rescue the Prince of Jin. General Xu Kebiao will be the chief commander this time. The cabinet will draft the order."

"Your Majesty." Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Yes."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they walked out of the Mingde Hall.

Murong Bai and Song Yan didn't communicate with anyone and just walked forward.

"What if Wuhetu is so desperate that he kills the King of Jin..."

"Don't talk nonsense, watch out for your head."

"Look at what he did, he's a madman."

"Who says it isn't?"

Murong Bai and Song Yan listened to the quiet discussion behind them and looked at each other.

Liannan.

After selling the grain to the Liu family that day, Qian Xiaoxiao did not open the door that day.

But the next day, when she opened the door and prepared to open for business.

The Liu family came again.

"Boss Qian, you are not trustworthy enough." The person who came was the middle-aged butler.

"I don't know how I am not honest?" Qian Xiaoxiao knew they would come. It was morning and there were not many customers on the street.

The people helping in the store were still the same ones from before. When they saw Butler Liu and his men coming, they all looked like they were on guard against the enemy.

"We agreed that you would sell all your grain to our Liu family. Didn't you agree?"

"Yes, didn't I sell it? Didn't you say that we sold all the food yesterday to you? Didn't you take the food away? I still have the receipt here." Qian Xiaoxiao said with her arms folded across her chest.

"What about you?" Butler Liu looked at the shop full of food and was puzzled.

Why can’t we find their supply channels, and why don’t we see them transporting grain? Does the grain appear out of thin air?

Could it be that they waited in the middle of the night for them to withdraw their troops and then secretly moved the items? Weird, weird, too weird.

"Today's food is not yesterday's. Don't you want only yesterday's food?" Qian Xiaoxiao blinked and said innocently.

Qian Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.

"You..." I originally wanted to buy all the grain from her at a low price and not let her sell it, but who would have thought that this woman's grain seemed to be endless. How should I explain to the master when I go back? Should I continue to buy, or...

The middle-aged man was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Stop playing word games with us. You know what we mean."

"I am stupid and don't understand what Butler Liu means. You'd better say it clearly. After all, yesterday's transaction was written in black and white." Qian Xiaoxiao said with her hands on her hips.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Qian Xiaoxiao like this, Butler Liu took a step back.

"What can I do? There are so many of you and only a few of us." Qian Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

The middle-aged man thought about it and agreed, so he straightened his back.
